Darko

Hey, when I came to country I could barely speak English and couldn't really understand what was said to me. It takes time. Strangely it took Darko that long to learn. For his age (I was 19 when we moved) 2 years should be more than enough, if one's willing to put forth the effort. I have a funny story to tell on this. We were visiting friends in NJ. They also moved from Ukraine a while back. They took us to the bar somehwere along the way and ordered drinks. The waiter asked if we were Portugese. What happened was my dad's friend worked for the Portugese company when he just moved to the US and that's where he picked up his English. So now he's Russian with the Portugese accent.

Reminds of me of Ingrid Bergman playing Joan de Arc with a Swedish accent.

McCoskey needs to let it go. He hasn't written a single decent article about the Pistons all year, but he has time to trash Darko. I suppose his next article will be about how poorly Delfino is fitting in Russia.

The "Fall of Darko" will always be of interest in Detroit. So many folks talked him up... that his crash and burn is all the more interesting.

I wish him well but he never had the desire or toughness to play in the NBA. He will find his softer place in Europe.

he barely writes an article... did he get put on a part time salary.... the coverage by the detroit papers this year is pathetic at best.
